This is not a party divided issue when it comes to the people who we vote in , get paid off by healthcare and Big Pharma..
Trump can not stop this, we have to... We need to come together and fight this people..
We are getting ripped off right in front of our faces, why do we just let it happen? All of them seem to profit one way or another on our backs..To name a few....
Take the time to read the links not just comment without knowing what you are talking about..
I hate Ryan and McConnell because they are the loudest to cut healthcare..so lets discuss them..
Look at who gave money to Paul Ryan, who is he really working for? Not us..

Big Pharma Spends Millions on Political Contributions
Pharmaceutical and health product companies injected $51 million into the 2012 federal elections and nearly $32 million into the 2014 elections, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP). The industry has already spent nearly $10 million on the 2016 elections and is expected to spend more, especially now that Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have made drug prices a campaign issue with separate proposals to rein them in with new regulations.
Big Pharma tends to spend more on Republicans than Democrats, and the GOP benefited from 58 percent of the industry's federal contributions in 2012 and 2014 while Democrats received 42 percent, according to the CRP.
How Much of Big Pharma's Massive Profits Are Used to Influence Politicians?
Who Owns Congress? A Campaign Cash Seating Chart
Mitch McConnell Is the Cancer of the U.S. Senate
On the flip side, McConnell is quite productive if you’re willing to write him a fat check. One week after Amgen, a pharmaceutical multinational, hosted a fundraiser for McConnell in December of 2012, one of their lobbyists, who was in charge of monitoring the “fiscal cliff” negotiations, wrote a $3,000 check to McConnell’s campaign. By the time the negotiations were finished, McConnell had secured a $500 million Christmas present for Amgen that came directly out of Medicare. But even that wasn’t McConnell’s foulest moment of corruption.
